"If I had to briefly characterize Ivan Trush - I would call him a poet of the sun. The sun with its inexhaustible treasure of light effects dominates in each of his paintings; the sun for him - an idol; he - its priest and loud singer" M. Moczulski, "Literary News" - quoted by O. Bila, "Sunny chords in the palette of Ivan Trusz" [exhibition catalog], Sopot 2011, p. 19
